Long has streaming giant Twitch skirted around the murky waters of copyright infringement, playing chicken with that day of reckoning when lawyers will realize that hours of unlicensed media are used with impunity in various ways on the platform. Well, that day appears to be now as major Twitch streamers are reporting that their old footage and channel clips are being hit with music copyright claims that not only threaten their archives but potentially puts channels at risk for removal.
Reports abound in the past few days about archived clips being hit with copyright notices, including major Twitch personalities Fuslie and Jake?n?Bake. As Jake put it in a June 6 social media post, ?I can?t go through 100,000 clips and delete anything that has some music in it. Scary. If things continue this way doesn?t that mean 90% of the streamers on Twitch are donezo"?
